Summer BBQ
Kebabs on the Grill
Have you ever been on a weekend drive and found some place that is really unique, fun; some place you want to share?
When it’s hot outside, we like to put our feet up and BBQ!
The vibrant colors of the peppers & onions and the mouthwatering smells made for a delicious dinner.
Don’t forget that we eat with our eyes. Adding a bright color or a textural contrast will make your dinner taste even better! Serving kababs over saffron rice is a treat.
An ancient flavor, saffron has been used for millennia for flavoring and color in foods. Adding a few strands of saffron to your cooking water for rice, risotto, paella, or bouillabaisse will give your dish a strong yellow-orange hue.
The flavor is very distinct and complex! Descriptions of “metallic honey” or “grassy honey” show the difficulty in describing it. It blends sweet & floral notes with savory & earthy. If you want to try some traditional Persian foods, saffron is a must have in your spice cupboard!

I saw this amazing story about a knitting project to replicate Sandringham House and gardens. The original story has many pictures showing Margaret Seaman’s skill and attention to detail.

We are blessed to live in a beautiful part of the world. One of the perks of lush greenery is the joy of finding early spring flowers hiding in the foliage.
Take some time to enjoy Spring by walking in nature! Look for a few cheery and easy to find flowers like trillium, vinca minor, candytuft, and of course, dandelions. Or take it a step further and visit one of our state forests.
